    I disagree on 3 out of the 4 being particularly clear signs back then.

    #1 and #3 always seemed like critiques of slavery and discrimination to me as a teen when reading those. I recall Hermione being the voice of reason that wizards ignored because slavery was convenient and the people who wanted “mudbloods” gone were shown as bad, with Voldemort in particular having no redeeming qualities.

    #2 was pretty inexcusable back then but surprisingly enough is going to be found increasingly acceptable now that Israel has shown its true colours

    #4 I don’t know the context but maybe she just didn’t want a bunch of Americans? Because the guy who played Krum is Bulgarian and Fleur’s actress was French. There was an actress from Bangladesh. To me that would make sense because the film industry is very America-centric.

    Also before the entire TERFdom and now literal nazism saga, she said shit like “nowhere does it say Hermione has to be white” (which her own book disagreed with but this is an example of how she used to be more tolerant). She’s changed a lot and it can only be the money and the company people with money tend to keep (other people with money). Wealth cap starting to seem better by the day.

    Hmm perhaps I’m just not genetically predisposed to big glutes. My quads and calves are massive and my upper body is ridiculous, but neither cycling nor squats ever gave me a big ass lol

    My ex once got a fracture in her forearm trying to spank it though, that’s what I mean by glutes of steel.

    I’m going to need a source on the fat ass part. I cycled for years when I was younger and I certainly have glutes of steel, but they’re not big. I do however find myself very much attracted to a big ass on the opposite sex so if that’s true in any way shape or form, I should start cycling to meet more women who cycle perhaps lol
